Zoner GIF Animator
$29 - Zoner, Inc.

Zoner GIF Animator 5 is an extraordinary tool for creating and editing images, especially Web banners, in the animated GIF format.

Other abilities and features: support for text frames, including advanced editing functions, merging frames, "tweening" (blending) between frames, frame drag-and-drop, support for all frame-refresh methods, titles for all animation frames, easy definition of animation borders, lockable borders, frame printing, frame rotation and flipping, creating empty bitmap frames, distortion effect, export of individual frames to bitmaps.
Bitmap import: GIF, JPG, PCD, MAC, PNG, TIF, TGA, BMP, DIB, RLE, ICO, WPG, BMI, and PCX, animation import: FLI, FLIC, and AVI.
"Optimization" commands -- to minimize animations' file sizes: dither frames, trim frames, remove comment blocks, remove titles, remove special features (convert vector graphics, TrueColor bitmaps, and simulated controls into the ordinary bitmaps used in aGIF frames), use difference method, create global and/or local palettes, and set palettes' color depth precisely.
